land use planning is the main core of urban planning and one of the main components of an urban system. this element has close relation with transportation system of the city, so if their interaction becomes insufficient, deterioration and chaos would have an adverse impact on the urban system and would cause serious environmental issues. the integrated land use-transportation models seem to b...

In urban transportation planning, it has become critical (1) to determine the travel time of a traveler and how it is affected by congestion, and (2) to understand how traffic distributes in a transportation network. In the first part of this paper, we derive an analytical function of travel time, based on the theory of kinematic waves. This travel-time function integrates the traffic dynamics ...

Transportation system has time-varying, coupling and nonlinear dynamic characteristics. Traffic flow forecast is one of the key technologies of traffic guidance. It is very difficult to accurately forecast them effectively. This paper has analyzed the complexity and the evaluation index of urban transportation network and has proposed the forecasting model of the hybrid algorithm based on chaos...

Improvements to transportation networks, especially those in growing areas, tend to have impacts on local land markets. In principle, an improvement to a link in the network will confer economic benefits to adjacent and nearby properties. Depending on the type of improvement (construction of a new link, capacity addition to an existing link, or upgrading an existing link), the benefit could rep...

This paper presents an autonomic-based architecture for real-time traffic management in congested urban transportation networks. The architecture assumes the availability of a spatially distributed set of local controllers in the network. Each controller is capable of monitoring the traffic within a predefined subnetwork and provides efficient control strategies for its traffic. Following a pre...
